Park Ave Retro Beige Dot Armchair and Ottoman

Rating

I am an Interior Designer and I bought 8 of these chairs thinking it would look great in a doctors waiting room and when I got them I initially thought great, but as took a closer look I noticed I can see through the fabric. The makers has used a cheap fabric and managed to pull it so tight you can see through it. When you sit on it for a couple of minutes you quickly realize that at any moment the fabric could (would) tear. Also, shoe or marks that you might get on it will show and would be hard to get off. As for the colors, it is a bit more muted than in the pictures, but it still looked good. I give the lifespan of this chair 3 months if you use it on average.

This chair is perfect for a corner or lightly used area as the construction is definitely cheap. The profile is attractive, however, and quite comfortable for the price--the slightly curved back has good lumbar support. The seat cushion is attached, despite its look as a loose seat. I bought it planning on re-upholsering it and it's a good thing I didn't want it with the factory fabric. 1) The pattern is stretched and slanted in some areas; 2) the matching at seams is not very consistent; 3) only a couple of seams have welting so the look is somewhat cheap.

This chair set is a great deal for the price. It is not super-high quality; the fabric is thin and seems likely to wear quickly and the padding on the arms is fairly minimal, but it looks good and is actually quite comfortable. It's not a squishy sink-into-it chair, but the seat and back are comfy and provide good support. It's just wide enough that I can tuck a leg under myself. Not great for those who like to sit sideways in chairs due to the thin arm padding. The ottoman is a good height, just a hair shorter than the chair. The seat is too deep front-to-back for a short person (I'm 5'4") to sit with back against the chair back and feet on the floor, so short folks may need to add a throw pillow against the back for optimal comfort. The fabric colors are muted and blend well with nearly any near-neutral or earthy palette. The fabric, as mentioned before, is not as thick as standard upholstery fabric and my cat managed to snag it with his claws by just jumping off of it within 24 hours. I don't think I'd recommend this chair set for a household with young children due to perceived lack of durability. Assembly (which consists of screwing in the legs on chair and ottoman) was super easy. The hardest part was getting the chair out of the box and into the house all by my lonesome. Still, I think this chair is a good value for the price, feels solid and definitely looks classier than many other chairs in this price range. It would be nice if the same style chair and ottoman set were avilable in a selection of solid colors.

I ordered the chair after months and months of searching for a reasonably priced chair and ottoman less than 33". The fabric was right on per the thumbnail picture and the colors were perfect. The only thing odd, is the seat cushion isn't removable although it has a zipper. Anyway, I am very pleased and the delivery took just a couple of days.
